00:11:05.909 --> 00:11:10.070

00:11:26.990 --> 00:11:29.309
Wouldn't<00:11:27.470><c> that</c><00:11:27.649><c> be</c><00:11:27.830><c> a</c><00:11:27.990><c> wonderful</c><00:11:28.289><c> thing</c><00:11:28.529><c> if</c><00:11:28.690><c> God</c><00:11:28.889><c> could</c><00:11:29.110><c> say</c>

00:11:31.070 --> 00:11:32.309
You're<00:11:31.210><c> my</c><00:11:31.389><c> friend.</c>

00:11:32.509 --> 00:11:34.909
Because<00:11:32.710><c> friends</c><00:11:33.090><c> are</c><00:11:33.450><c> special</c><00:11:33.830><c> people.</c>

You<00:11:35.350><c> know,</c><00:11:36.210><c> you</c><00:11:36.429><c> love</c><00:11:36.610><c> your</c><00:11:36.850><c> friends.</c>

00:11:38.350 --> 00:11:40.610

00:11:43.610 --> 00:11:47.330
Now,<00:11:44.230><c> we</c><00:11:44.490><c> can</c><00:11:44.690><c> be</c><00:11:44.950><c> friends</c><00:11:45.190><c> with</c><00:11:45.429><c> all</c><00:11:45.649><c> sorts</c><00:11:45.870><c> of</c><00:11:46.129><c> bad</c><00:11:46.350><c> things.</c>

00:18:04.329 --> 00:18:09.569
Yahweh<00:18:04.930><c> executeth</c><00:18:05.529><c> righteousness</c><00:18:06.349><c> and</c><00:18:07.650><c> judgment</c><00:18:08.289><c> for</c><00:18:08.990><c> all</c>

00:18:09.569 --> 00:18:11.190
that<00:18:09.910><c> are</c><00:18:10.150><c> oppressed.</c>

00:18:11.390 --> 00:18:15.690
There's<00:18:11.630><c> our</c><00:18:11.829><c> two</c><00:18:12.009><c> words</c><00:18:12.250><c> again,</c><00:18:13.369><c> righteousness</c><00:18:13.809><c> and</c><00:18:14.529><c> judgment.</c>

00:18:16.069 --> 00:18:20.529
Now<00:18:16.410><c> the</c><00:18:16.710><c> Lord</c><00:18:16.990><c> executeth</c><00:18:17.710><c> that</c><00:18:17.950><c> for</c><00:18:18.130><c> those</c><00:18:18.390><c> that</c><00:18:18.589><c> are</c><00:18:18.710><c> his</c><00:18:18.930><c> family,</c><00:18:19.789><c> for</c><00:18:19.990><c> those</c><00:18:20.230><c> that</c><00:18:20.369><c> he</c>

00:18:21.690 --> 00:18:24.109
So<00:18:21.910><c> obviously</c><00:18:22.269><c> it</c><00:18:22.450><c> must</c><00:18:22.690><c> be</c><00:18:22.930><c> something</c><00:18:23.289><c> that</c><00:18:23.589><c> we</c><00:18:23.789><c> should</c><00:18:23.930><c> try</c>

00:18:25.470 --> 00:18:29.269
That's<00:18:26.170><c> what</c><00:18:26.410><c> we're</c><00:18:26.789><c> doing,</c><00:18:27.630><c> that</c><00:18:27.809><c> our</c><00:18:28.029><c> joy</c><00:18:28.210><c> and</c><00:18:28.589><c> pleasure</c><00:18:28.910><c> would</c><00:18:29.150><c> be</c>
